Ollie's 1.0E (the new look)

Since the last time you've seen it, I've added some new bits to it. I've added 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers to the wheels, improving the stance greatly, an S2000 aerial ("borrowed" off my mum's CRV
), and some Osram diadem indicator bulbs.
The next modifications are going to be, some winter wheels (posh Audi steelie wheels with adaptors, hopefully) so I can get my BBS' polished. And I'll be looking to flog it sometime next year, around June-ish time, if things go my way, and be buying a 6N2 GTI, and I'll be looking to do something different (already got some ideas).
I washed and waxed it with some poorboys wax, and took it for a drive, since the weather is lovely today, and took some pictures in the Kentish countryside.

Haha, *adds Si to the list of people who want my wheels* :lol
In all seriousness though, you may want to keep an eye out for these on ebay:

The 1.0L engine isn't *too* bad really. This is my first car, and I've had no problems with the engine really, it feels quite nippy really, and it handles like a go-kart with the lowered and uprated suspension, and the low-pro tyres.

Looks real nice in those pics, the spacers definately seem to have made an improvement.
